Mississippi Queen, do you know what I mean
Y’all, I’m still a Mississippi Girl.
Up against the wall, redneck mother.
They blew their horns and the walls came down
What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where we used to talk?
How shall I fill the final places?
How should I complete the wall?
She needs wide open spaces
Room to make her big mistakes
She needs new faces
She knows the high stakes
You gotta know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold’em
Know when to walk away, and know when to run.
You better run like hell
You better run all day
And run all night
And keep your dirty feelings
Deep inside
Run, run, run, run, runaway.
And I ran, I ran so far away
I just ran, I ran all night and day
Night and day, you are the one
Only you beneath the moon or under the sun
I don’t want to set the world on fire, I just want to light a spark in your eyes
I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain
I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end
I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend
But I always thought that I’d see you again
One is the loneliest number that you’ll ever do
Saturday night is the loneliest night of the week
And there’s nothin’ short of dyin’,
Half as lonesome as the sound,
On the sleepin’ city sidewalks:
Sunday mornin’ comin’ down.
Monday, Monday
So good to me
Monday, Monday
It was all I hoped it would be
Tuesday, afternoon,
I’m just beginning to see, now I’m on my way.
It doesn’t matter to me, chasing the clouds away.
I’m just sitting here watching the wheels go round
I really love to watch them roll
I love rock and roll.
